Genshin Impact’s banners follow a predictable rotation, changing every few weeks, and Hoyoverse ensures players are always informed. Through regular livestreams and social media updates, you’ll always know how to best allocate your valuable Primogems.
With a new banner cycle every three weeks, the roster of available Genshin Impact characters is always evolving. This free-to-play PC game frequently introduces two new characters for you to wish for. Each limited-time character banner, also known as an event wish, features one five-star character and three four-star characters with enhanced drop rates. Alongside these, a dedicated weapon banner also rotates its offerings with each update.
Current Genshin Impact Character Banners
The first phase of Genshin Impact’s 6.0 update banners began on Tuesday, September 9, and is scheduled to conclude on Tuesday, September 30. During this period, you can find Lauma as the featured five-star character on the ‘Moonsong of the Groves’ banner, while Nahida returns as a five-star character on the ‘Moongrass’ Enlightenment’ banner.
Moonsong of the Groves Banner Features:
- Lauma (Five-Star)
- Barbara (Four-Star)
- Kuki Shinobu (Four-Star)
- Kaveh (Four-Star)
Moongrass’ Enlightenment Banner Features:
- Nahida (Five-Star)
- Barbara (Four-Star)
- Kuki Shinobu (Four-Star)
- Kaveh (Four-Star)
To acquire these featured characters, you’ll need to use Primogems to purchase Intertwined Fates. Each Fate costs 160 Primogems, and a minimum of ten Fates guarantees at least one four-star or higher reward. Keep in mind, this might yield a four-star weapon instead of a character.
Current Genshin Impact Weapon Banner
The Genshin Impact weapon pity system provides an opportunity to enhance your characters with a selection of four- and five-star weapons. Just like character banners, obtaining these weapons requires spending Primogems on wishes.
For the current ‘Epitome Invocation’ banner, Nightweaver’s Looking Glass is considered Lauma’s signature weapon, and Thousand Floating Dreams is ideal for Nahida.
Featured Weapons on the Current Epitome Invocation Banner:
- Nightweaver’s Looking Glass (Five-Star)
- Thousand Floating Dreams (Five-Star)
- The Flute (Four-Star)
- Sacrificial Greatsword (Four-Star)
- Dragon’s Bane (Four-Star)
- The Stringless (Four-Star)
- Sacrificial Fragments (Four-Star)
The five-star weapons on these banners are always the best-in-slot options for their respective featured characters. If you want to maximize your new character’s potential, investing in the latest weapon banner is highly recommended.
Genshin Impact Chronicled Wish Banner
The Chronicled Wish banner has made its return in Genshin Impact 6.0, offering players another chance to obtain characters and their signature weapons from the Sumeru region. The ‘Rowing Chalice of Dewgrass Chronicled Wish’ banner is active from September 9 to September 30.
Five-Star Characters Featured in the Rowing Chalice of Dewgrass Chronicled Wish Banner:
- Dehya
- Alhaitham
- Wanderer
- Cyno
- Nilou
- Tighnari
Upcoming Genshin Impact Character Banners
As announced during the Genshin Impact 6.0 livestream, the next characters scheduled to appear on the character event banners in the second phase are Flins and Yelan. For more details on Flins and other upcoming additions, check out our guide to new Genshin Impact characters.
